Adjacent to the Smokey Bear Historical Park, this museum is full of Smokey the Bear memorabilia that many folks remember from their childhoods. Great displays, some things for sale, and the lady running the place told us lots of great Smokey the Bear stories. Definitely worth the stop.

Here you can learn the story of Smokey Bear who is in fact a real bear found badly burned in the Capitan Gap area and nursed back to health to later become the "spokesperson" for fire prevention. There are all types of memorabillia, a short film about Smokey's life, a small theater which also shows films about Smokey, botanical garden which includes Smokey's final resting place. Very easy for those who have trouble walking, and very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
